Things to know:

North Dakota has 14 state snowmobile trails, which are maintained by members of Snowmobile North Dakota. Trails are open from December 1 through April 1, providing that the trail has a minimum of four inches of packed snow.

Many of the trails are on trail easements through private land. Snowmobilers are reminded to respect private property and remain on marked trail segments.

All snowmobiles operated on public land must be registered. Snowmobile registration is handled by the North Dakota Department of Transportation at any licensing office statewide. The registration fee is $40 for a two-year period, which includes a $5 registration fee and $35 trail tax which is used for the state trail system. The fee must be paid on odd-numbered years.

Owners of out-of-state registered snowmobiles must purchase a non-resident public trails and lands access permit, at a cost of $15 per year. Out of state permits may be ordered online by going tohttps://secure.apps.nd.gov/PNR/Snowmobile/

Information needed to order a non-resident trail access permit includes:

Drivers license number

Snowmobile VIN number(s)

Make

Model

Color

Engine size.

You will also need your current snowmobile registration number, the year it expires, and the state which issued it.
